In many places wingsuits are still perceived as something accessible to a select few. In most places wingsuits are the exception, not the norm.

There's not many people wingsuiting, while the requirements to start/try are very reasonnable. I mean every DZ has people with 200 jumps who never tried or even considered to try a wingsuit.

On top of that there seems to be some rivaltry between some wingsuit manufacturers, between some wingsuit brand users and between people in different wingsuit disciplines. Nothing good can come out of that.

How about a "Discover Wingsuiting" event?

There coud be cheap or even free first jump courses for people with the necessary experience.

All wingsuit manufacturers could be present (skydive expo style) to show people what they offer.

There coud be load organizers for all kind of different disciplines, so people with some experience can try different things. If those jumps are filmed people could watch the videos in the evening to see what those different disciplines are all about.

And if you don't have 200 jumps and can't try, well some wingsuit manufacturers could bring some tracking suits to demo. Who doesn't like a tracking dive?

Also, give a free jump ticket or two to every wingsuiter that brings a jumper for a first jump course!

Even though the subject of this thread seems to cover the bigger question, the intention in posting this thread is (read the original post) to get feedback from the people that plan on going to Flock U events.

In my perception of the people around here, Justin and the group of people that regularly fly with him come across as a positive and fun bunch, more interested in achieving a common goal and having fun than in soup brands .

Let's leave this thread alone for people that are going to a FlockU event to have their say
I'll start another thread with your post and my response for people interested in discussing the more general question.

Well......we are all waiting. Start another thread. Take the thoughts and ideas that you feel have "de-railed" the dialogue from its intended subject matter.

Do what you say you are going to do. Follow through.
